It’s that time of year again.
Christmas is just over a month away, which means the biggest shopping season of the year is underway. Black Friday, the pre-holiday sales frenzy that started in the States, has been gaining popularity in the UK in recent years. But now it’s not only bargain phone and TV deals you can find. Internet providers are also getting in on the action, offering a great range of cut-price broadband packages for a limited time.
When looking for the best broadband package, you need to be aware of what is available and what is required for you. If you like to stream 4K content from services such as Netflix, Amazon Prime or Apple TV, or if you like to watch live sport on Sky or BT, then you will need a fast broadband connection. Netflix recommends a minimum speed of 25Mbps to use its services. Also, before subscribing you should check with your provider that you are definitely covered in your area – this is particularly the case if you want superfast fibre optic broadband.

At £19.95 per month, this plan from TalkTalk is one of the cheapest on the market for fibre optic internet. With average speeds of 36Mbps, this package offers you fast internet and unlimited usage, as well as weekend UK calls on your landline. This deal is available until the 29th November, and the price is fixed for the duration of the contract so you won’t be faced with any unwelcome price hikes in the future.

Onestream unlimited broadband for under £10 a month
At £9.99 a month, this package from Onestream is one of the cheapest ever available on the UK market. However, with average download speeds of only 11Mbps it may not be suitable for your needs, depending if your planning to binge watch the latest series of your favourite show or not.
